During Saturday night’s Democratic debate, Bernie Sanders was asked if he still believes “the greatest threat to national security [is] climate change.” Sanders said it was, and then criticized Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy and support for the Iraq war.
“Absolutely. In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism. And if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say, you’re going to see countries all over the world– this is this is what the CIA says– they’re going to be struggling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops ask you’re going to see all kinds of international conflict. But, of course, international terrorism is a major issue that we have got to address today. And I agree with much of what the secretary and the governor have said,” said Sanders.
